The Motherwell Times will be running a live blog from the match (kick-off 7.45pm).Victory for the Steelmen would point them four points clear of Aberdeen after 28 league games in the battle for a Europa League first qualifying round spot.But it won't be easy against a St Mirren side who knocked Motherwell out of the William Hill Scottish Cup at Fir Park a week ago by winning 3-2 in a penalty shootout after an astonishing 4-4 fifth round replay draw in which Motherwell fought back from 4-1 down.
